Forward Looking Statements
2
The information presented contains “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and
“forward-looking information” under similar Canadian legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of the Company.
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to estimated production, the estimation of
mineral reserves and mineral resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production;
capital expenditures; success of exploration activities; permitting time lines and permitting, mining or processing issues; government regulation of mining
operations; environmental risks; unanticipated reclamation expenses; title disputes or claims; litigation liabilities; and limitations on insurance coverage.
Generally, forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or
“does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or believes”, or variations of
such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-
looking statements and forward-looking information are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made, and
they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements
of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although
management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-
looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be
no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. The Company does not
undertake to update any forward-looking statements or forward-looking information that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with
applicable securities laws.
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved the scientific and technical
information contained in this presentation.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resources.
The information presented uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms
are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. “Inferred
mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any
part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the
basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral
resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral
resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
In connection with the recently announced private placement financing, this presentation shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities that are subject to the recently
announced private placement financing have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold
in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

Castillian has significantly advanced its flagship Hope Brook Gold Project in
Newfoundland
First NI 43 -101 mineral resource report released February 14 2012, meeting
guidance at 740,000 inferred ounces of gold and 290,000 indicated ounces of
gold and in just 16 months
Discovery cost of approximately $10 per resource ounce
Excellent potential exists to significant expand the resource
Mineralized zone is open along strike in both directions and at depth
More than 8 kilometres of underexplored mineralized structure identified to date
5000 metre drill program testing major potential extensions is in progress
